This is our pledge 

Eco Week 2024

From the 22nd to the 26th April 2024, Ash Grange will be celebrating Earth during our Eco Week!

Children from nursery all the way up to Year 6 will have many opportunities to learn about how to care for our planet and why. During the week, each class will have an eco book to explore the topic and enjoy activities to share what they learnt about eco during our Celebration Assembly on the Friday.

On the last day of the week, we will have a mufti day to fundraise for the charity Water Aid, working hard to support populations who live in areas with little or no access to clean water. 

Congratulations!!!

Fantastic work!

We are very pleased to tell you that you and your Eco-Committee at Ash Grange Nursery and Primary School have been successful in meeting the requirements for the Eco-Schools Green Flag Award.

We reviewed your application and noted the following:

We love your fair and inclusive approach to selecting Eco-Committee members and it’s wonderful to that see that they span a broad age spectrum. Giving your young people the opportunity to take meeting minutes gives them a strong voice and sense of ownership of their Eco-Schools work, whilst supporting them to develop excellent teamwork and communication skills. It's great to read that the Environmental Review helped your pupils appreciate everything that your school is already doing to benefit our environment and identify areas to work on in the future. The comments on your Environmental Review were thoughtful and gave our team a glimpse into the discussion that took place amongst young people. Great work everyone! We love the variety of activities that you and your Eco-Committee have included in the Action Plan, which will no doubt support with the development of multi-disciplinary skills. Your commitment to running an Eco Week shows how integrated environmentalism is in your school and is a great example of how to engage all pupils and staff. We’re really impressed by how broadly and creatively you’ve embedded environmental topics across your curriculum. This approach looks at the big issue of climate change in a holistic way. We particularly loved reading about how you are using literature as a vehicle for delivering your eco-topics and engendering a sense of compassion and respect for our planet and all its inhabitants. You have worked with a variety of different individuals and organisations, capitalising on their expertise and passion to enrich and inform your Eco-Schools journey. Getting involved with Water Aid, Surrey Wildlife and Terracycle is a great example of collaboration. Your ability and willingness to partnership is impressive! Your artistic and vibrant Eco-Board is a delight! It really helped to bring your Eco-Schools application to life – it’s a wonderful celebration of your eco-activity that will increase engagement from your school community. We hope all staff members involved in your Eco-Schools work take immense pride in the parent quote uploaded. Your hard work and dedication have inspired young people and empowered them with the belief that they can positively impact our planet – this is something incredibly special. Thank you for submitting such a terrific application. We have loved reading about your journey and are incredibly impressed by all that you have achieved this year both in school and in the wider community. We have no hesitation in awarding you an Eco-Schools Green Flag with Merit - congratulations!
